Peter Fong Obituary

NOW LEAVING HEAVEN ON EARTH. (Sign on the tree.)

Happy heavenly birthday Peter. Miss your smiling face.

I met Peter in August 2023 at our lively Zumba party. Music, fun, great food and decorations to match our Barbie Movie theme. Peter chatted and shared his background, family, and his aspiration which was to help others. His humility and caring nature was clear. I heard he was ill but he seemed to enjoy the food, and music, even danced with me. He enjoyed the pho, which was homemade and fresh, and seemed to delight in all the dishes. I am so happy to have met this wonderful person who seemed to enjoy life so much that evening. I was very surprised and saddened to see that he passed away, shortly after this party under the stars. I hope that he is still with us in spirit and look forward to feeling his presence at our next party. Aloha Peter and mahalo for gracing our lives with your kind spirit.

I cannot begin to bring myself to fathom the enormity if this man's loss. Peter Fong was smart, successful and generous. I still have disbelief beyond grief.

Aloha Oe to brother in Christ, (Saint!) Peter! Indeed, a saint to so many here on earth. Deserving of all the wonderful praise shared here in the eulogy of his rich life, and all the testimonies! I too noticed many of these distinguished qualities of character and actions, especially in my fundraiser event life, where he was SO consistent and pro-active. Loved telling him my wife and I were dropping 'coin' in his McCully Shopping Center restaurant's coffers, enjoying so much fun dining there over all these great years. Sad to see him gone too early, as we are the same age. Potent reminder we all need to be reconciled to God through Jesus before our time, which none can predict. Long live his fine memories! Mahaloha. PTL/JET

early Dec. 2023 invited Peter this unique party.
To my surprise Peter said it was 3 or 4 houses away from his old family home. He knew all the neighbors on this very short street. Talk about his fond memory of growing up on Hibiscus street. He was very happy , talked to everyone that night , told me he tried all the food and someone was told me he danced too.
I told Peter why the stars lined up for you tonight? Peter grin and said your my good friend.
This photo for me : Peter's happiest moments , didn't see him dance.

Peter was a true gentlemen, and such a good person. He will be missed by so many of us. He left us too young and too soon. God bless him and all of his family. We dedicated a tree in memory of Peter.

Peter called me to tell me how much he loved and valued my dad´s friendship like a brother several days before my dad passed away. Then he passed a few days soon after. I also told him that my dad felt the same way and loved him as a brother. It was so truly heartbreaking to lose both of them days apart but knowing they are together now they are happy.

Peter was my classmate all the way back to Aina Haina Elementary School. We became reacquainted n 2017 and I found him to be generous and kind. Peter also took a leadership role in our last few Kalani High School reunions, including one just last October. I don't think any of us imagined he would be leaving us soon. Peter, I wish you great love and joy on the other side. Thank you for all you did while you were here, including helping me to launch my non-profit effort.

Shortly after losing his mother, I lost mine. Even in his own grief he helped me through mine. He was there for me to talk to and he shared words of consolation. Peter was always kind, with an easy smile and good humored soul. Peter was loved and admired by many and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. RIL Peter.

It was great getting to know you during the planning of the Kalani 50th reunion. Sad that our friendship was cut short. You will be missed. RIP my friend

Met Peter a few years ago through my brother (Coyne) who was his HS classmate. Peter's humbleness and sincereness stood out. He always greeted me with his grinnish smile and always had time to have a friendly conversation. Very rare to meet persons this nice and caring for others. We instantly bonded and consider him a great friend and a good role model for me to follow. I now know why my brother always said that Peter was his best friend. We need more people like Peter in this world.

Peter I just noticed your black cat pet in the window will miss you very much.

Thank you for your enduring support and inspiration to Kalani High School Class of 1973. The Reunions will not be the same without you.

Peter was an old friend from the Jaycees and knew my late wife Barbara from BC LAW School. He helped Barb tremendously over the years until her death in 2016. It was a honor to have him deliver the eulogy at her Memorial Mass.

Saint Peter , He was Kalani 73 class reunion soul. I was blessed to be in the presence of Saint Peter.
